MLB Twitter mocks Pittsburgh Pirates after reportedly requesting to borrow Toronto Blue Jays' iconic home-run jacket celebration

Pittsburgh Pirates fans are unsatisfied with their team's request to the Toronto Blue Jays to allow them to use their iconic home-run jacket tradition. Fans from other teams mocked the PiratesThe Toronto Blue Jays started the tradition in 2021 when they were playing the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. When Vladimir Guerrero Jr. returned to the dugout after hitting a homer, his teammates presented him with an exclusive jacket reserved for players who blasted a pitch over the fence.The jacket has been a mark of representation for all the players on the team. The Blue Jays were known as &quot;Canada's team&quot; but the jacket represented the entire world. The jacket was the brainchild of Hector Lebron, the bilingual interpreter, as a means to represent the multicultural backgrounds of the team and its fan base.But the Blue Jays recently announced that they will be doing away with the jacket tradition. The Pittsburgh Pirates jumped on that and reports suggest that they have been constantly requesting the Blue Jays to allow them to use that particular tradition.“It’s time to go from a talented, fun team to a talented, fun team that’s going to scrap and claw and find ways to win games,” Blue Jays manager John Schneider said.Fans quickly took to Twitter to give their opinions on the matter. The majority think that the Pittsburgh Pirates do not have enough backing in their lineup to be using a home-run tradition.slimdaddyvladdy@Gojaysgo21@SNETCampbell Pft, what kind of Pirate asks before taking something.5505@SNETCampbell Pft, what kind of Pirate asks before taking something.matt harvey@halladayfan32@SNETCampbell they do realize you need to actually hit homeruns to do that right lol1593@SNETCampbell they do realize you need to actually hit homeruns to do that right lolLloyd Osten@LloydOsten@SNETCampbell How much wear will it see in Pittsburgh?4@SNETCampbell How much wear will it see in Pittsburgh?matt harvey@halladayfan32@SNETCampbell they do realize you need to actually hit homeruns to do that right lol1593@SNETCampbell they do realize you need to actually hit homeruns to do that right lolFred@mrblckdmnd@SNETCampbell @JGoldberg12 Sounds pretty classy on the Pirates part.19@SNETCampbell @JGoldberg12 Sounds pretty classy on the Pirates part.Meesh Beer 🇨🇦🤬⚾️🏁@whatimthinking@SNETCampbell2@SNETCampbell https://t.co/0HDL8tb8xDKatie ⚾️@BlueJayGalCome up with your own thing???? twitter.com/SNETCampbell/s…Jamie Campbell@SNETCampbellI've been told the Pittsburgh Pirates contacted members of the Blue Jays asking to take over the &quot;home run jacket&quot; tradition.734I've been told the Pittsburgh Pirates contacted members of the Blue Jays asking to take over the &quot;home run jacket&quot; tradition.Come up with your own thing???? twitter.com/SNETCampbell/s…Josh@Josh_theJaysFanWell it’ll get a lot less wear n tear in pittsburgh twitter.com/snetcampbell/s…Jamie Campbell@SNETCampbellI've been told the Pittsburgh Pirates contacted members of the Blue Jays asking to take over the &quot;home run jacket&quot; tradition.834I've been told the Pittsburgh Pirates contacted members of the Blue Jays asking to take over the &quot;home run jacket&quot; tradition.Well it’ll get a lot less wear n tear in pittsburgh twitter.com/snetcampbell/s…m@_ForS__@SNETCampbell should just do it without asking but alright1@SNETCampbell should just do it without asking but alrightmaddie@maddiecholettei always knew teams were obsessed with the jacket, BEST celebration twitter.com/snetcampbell/s…Jamie Campbell@SNETCampbellI've been told the Pittsburgh Pirates contacted members of the Blue Jays asking to take over the &quot;home run jacket&quot; tradition.3734I've been told the Pittsburgh Pirates contacted members of the Blue Jays asking to take over the &quot;home run jacket&quot; tradition.i always knew teams were obsessed with the jacket, BEST celebration twitter.com/snetcampbell/s…Pittsburgh Pirates having a timid Spring TrainingThe Pirates currently have a 8-13 record in the 2023 Grapefruit League as they are second last.
